The 34th International Conference on Computers and Industrial Engineering will provide an
intellectually stimulating and enjoyable environment where researchers and practitioners in Industrial
Engineering and other related areas can share their research results, experiences, and proposals on the very
important area of supply chains and its role in modern manufacturing and services.
The location of the conference is at world-famous Fisherman’s Wharf in the center of bayside beautiful
cosmopolitan San Francisco. The conference is a walking distance to Pier 39 and the docking station for
